Preview Changes: GRAND FINAL

[Footypie32]

I Think I spent all my anxiety tickets last week.

I'm unphased by the injury talk. Sure, I would love to have McGovern and Greenwood in, but I still think we're good enough without them.

We're not a 2 man army like the Tiges.

We're a team. A ****ing good one.

We got this.

 

[GROTTO]

I am a tad worried about us being caught out with leg speed with some of our slower players.

We have plenty of quick players through the midfield where it counts. So long as the guys chase hard and apply pressure it won't be an issue. If we force turnovers it will affect how they can perform repeat sprints.

 

[Sanders]

Glad to hear you have progressed since last week

You mean last week when you lied and pretended to write things you didn’t?

You’ve had that nasty habit for longer than a week

 

[Sanders]

Jj isnt Tex but one thing with Tex is he gives a shit load of frees away.

Bruise Free Josh doesn’t contest hard enough to give away frees

That might involve contact

 

[Sanders]

Nope. I'll back Tex's view of JJ over sanders', every day.

Greenwood trained fine according to 7 news.

 

[GrommoT]

Only if he tripped in the showers. He looked magnificent this morning.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Greenwood looked fine to play. Whole squad looked fit, especially texan. Keath stood out to me and otten is no certainty to play.

Did you go to the open training session? Otten no certainty? You mean he didn't train well? Please elaborate.

 

[Murray2503]

Otten looked fine, trained well. He didnt look quick which we all know. Just thought keath's pace stood out. Depends if we go with a bit more speed, think otten is in the box seat but no certainty.

Keath isn't coming in. If they go with talls it'll be Otten.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Pyke basically confirming Otten will play, so no change.

Robbo to Pyke on Grand finals... correct me if you are wrong, but you played in 1a winning grand final... great research Robbo - 3 grand finals for 2 flags. Alcohol wiped his memory...

 

[Dangarman]

On afl.com.au Eade thinks there is no match for Hartigan. Doesn't say who he thinks should come in for him thoug
Personally I can't imagine changing a winning line up, but I have faith that Pyke will make the best call he can if he has to change the team for a different game style.

Crows have used 31 players. 9 of those did not play last week:
Smith 23 games - inj.
Milera 16 games - form
McGov 13 games - inj
Hampton 9 games
Keath 6
Menzel 4
Beech 3
Gallucci 1
Thompson 1

Would think only Milera or Hampton would be any chance to displace anyone in the fit 22. Has anyone outside the current 22 even played a game in the past month? If we have 22 match fit players, that's who we play IMO.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lol, Robbo spuiking the story he write during the year on Pyke, but basically has no clue about his playing career. Very embarrassing for someone in his position.

 

[mistylake]

Whoever comes in and who stays in we have to back the club. They have now got us into a GF, not the time to start questioning selections

Some will miss out some will earn a chance at glory. The spur for those who miss is to make sure we make it again

Not if it Greenwood out Thommo in for the feel good.

 

[Murray2503]

Keath isn't coming in. If they go with talls it'll be Otten.

Probably right, just saw don on afl 360 and he intimated it will most likely be otten.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

i know we arent a better team with him in but god id love to see thommo lift the cup

 

[mick500]

And there we are, one logon to another

Lol, to think you have enough people thinking you are a ****wit that there's so many of us that you have to pretend to yourself that it's the same person behind all the accounts is hilarious to me.

Unless there is an injury now, I cant imagine Pyke causing a GF heartache to any of the players that won us the prelim game.

Unchanged.

With that said, the time to have made changes to play against a certain team should have been seriously trialed during the season and not in the GF. They will adopt basically the blueprint that won them the game against the Tigers in R6.

Yeah! And bring back mods!!

.. but seriously, can we bring back mods

 

[mick500]

Valid points.

I would feel so much more comfortable with Hartigan out of the side. Having said that I don't see Hartigan being omitted.

Hartigan has demonstrated he can play small he could take Caddy (where Eade suggests it would be Lever) Lever absolutely excels at being a loose man. He took 8 marks against the tigers earlier this year. Eade would’ve watched about 2 crows games in the last 2 years.

Yep.

Talia to Jack. Hartigan to Caddy, but switches to Martin when he goes forward. Lever loose man. Brown to Rioli. Laird very loosely on Butler.
